I must confess I am guilty of doing this, but it's not because I'm scared of
being flamed, I'm just a little self-consious in the presence of you "old
salts," a little afraid of saying something real dumb. I suspect this is
the case with many others. Anybody else feel this way?

I feel like Lewis Baumstark. I often answer directly. Sometimes I answer to
the entire Web gang as I'm doing now.
It is a free country and I do as I feel at the moment on these decisions that
lack much momentous effect on the world.
When you want to share your thoughts with me privately, I appreciate it.
When you share your thoughts with me publicly through the Web Gang, I also
appreciate it.
If someone is not comfortable making his comments heard through the entire
group, I don't want to insist on his being uncomfortable. We all appreciate
what we get, even Geoff's weird jokes.
